Chapter 558 - 296: Chenxing Imperial Family·Twin Floating Lands

During the wait for transmission, a small incident occurred. Someone who was clearly next in line for transmission was suddenly postponed by a round or even several rounds, a situation that naturally sparked considerable dissatisfaction among those affected.

...

"Why? I'm clearly next, why am I suddenly scheduled for three days later?"

"Exactly, our squad's transmission was set for tomorrow, but now it's inexplicably moved to the day after tomorrow?"

"How could the Eagle Family not give an explanation? Our urgent matters are delayed, yet there's no sign of you offering any compensation!!!"

The sudden commotion instantly turned the already congested transfer station into chaos, even showing signs of losing control.

But before anyone from the Eagle Family could come out to maintain order, a Zhulu Warship over three thousand five hundred meters long was suddenly summoned, transforming from its mini state into a massive vessel in an instant.

"You want an explanation? How's this for an explanation—my 'Zhao Clan' from the Golden Dragon Star Domain urgently requires this route, is that explanation enough?"

The sudden appearance of the Zhulu Warship and the swiftly condensing frosty white giant dragon shadow around its hull caused the previously boisterous Torch Ship Captains to turn pale, and the chaotic transfer station fell into a sudden hush.

No one doubted the identity of the Zhulu Warship because the frost giant dragon is the most signature secret technique of the Golden Dragon Zhao Clan, much like the "Dragon Whale State" of the Dinghai Song Family. The Zhao Clan named this technique the "Frost Dragon Form."

In a corner aside, the Cang Qiong, unaffected by the disturbance, hung silently as an onlooker, quietly observing everything.

Song Chi's thoughts quickened, recalling all the information he knew about the Golden Dragon Zhao Family.

Like the Bai Family, from which his grandmother Bai Xiuqin hailed, the Zhao Family is also a clan that has inherited over three thousand years of history in the Capital Star Domain, even longer than the Dinghai Song Family behind him. However, unlike the declining Bai Family, the power of the Zhao Family was substantially greater.

Though they were not one of the few superpower forces of the Duchy, they were considered top-tier among those just beneath the giants.

With a Fifth-Rank Battleship Captain as their backbone and more than a handful of Fourth-Rank Contender Captains, the Golden Dragon Zhao Clan alone occupies a Level 4 Life Floating Land within the Golden Dragon Star Domain. Their domain might be less than three hundred light-years in control, but they are said to hold vast territories within the Alien Star Domain.

It was precisely because the Golden Dragon Zhao Family was such a behemoth that the previously clamoring Torch Ship Captains didn't dare to retort any further.

A Fifth-Rank Battleship Captain, even if they could not personally take action due to the official suppression by Torchlight Humanity, their double-digit Fourth-Rank Contender Warships could easily turn one or two lone Contender Warships into ash.

As mentioned, this was but a minor episode that did not affect Song Chi's journey; a week later, he successfully passed through the transmission gate and left the Golden Wind Star Domain.

As the Duchy Capital Star Domain, and also the earliest established Star Domain, the Golden Dragon Star Domain was almost as old as the Duchy itself. Meanwhile, it was also the largest Star Domain of Chenxing Principality, without a rival.

The Golden Dragon Star Domain stretched over ten thousand light-years, with one part of it nearly equal to the total combination of several Duchy Star Domains.

Of course, such an immense Star Domain naturally wasn't the sole dominion of the Imperial Family, the "Chenxing" Clan. Other families of various sizes, like the Golden Dragon Zhao and Bai Families, also had their territories here. But on the whole, the Chenxing Clan occupied over half of the Golden Dragon Star Domain territory, which was much larger compared to the Dinghai Star Domain.

If one were to further consider the Chenxing Clan's more than five thousand years of heritage, one could imagine the depth of foundation amassed by this family over such a long span of time.

The transmission from the Golden Wind Star Domain was pushing the limits of mid-distance transfer, moving people directly to the Crescent Star Region of the Golden Dragon Star Domain, a transfer distance of over five thousand light-years.

As a result, Song Chi and the others had now reached the nearly central region of the Golden Dragon Star Domain, the Crescent Star Region. As a drop point for several Duchy-managed Star Domain transfers, it was less than a thousand light-years away from the Duchy's "Chenxing Floating Land," and with full-speed travel, it would only take a few days to reach the famed "Chenxing Floating Land" of the entire principality.

Song Chi didn't delay further, controlling the Cang Qiong to shoot out of the transfer station directly.

However, to his surprise, the Zhao Clan's fleet seemed to be on the same path, heading straight for the Chenxing Floating Land.

"Isn't the ancestral land of the Golden Dragon Zhao Clan in Heavenly Frost Floating Land? They should be heading left, why would they be going..."

Muttering to himself, Song Chi quickly gathered his thoughts and stopped wondering. He redirected the Cang Qiong slightly off course to maximize the distance from the Zhao Clan's fleet.

The people from the Golden Dragon Zhao Clan were no pushovers, accustomed to throwing their weight around; they had few scruples. Should he come into their line of sight, it would, no doubt, lead to trouble.

After creating a sufficient distance, Song Chi initiated a Spatial Jump, and, once the jump concluded, he took out the second Space Law Fruit, feeling tempted to use it immediately.

After some thought, he decided against it.

The reason was simple. His previous enhancement of the Space Law had been a significant leap just a few days ago. To do so again now would be unnatural, like forcing the grow of a seedling. At the very least, he needed to fully familiarize himself and stabilize the current 0.27% Law Comprehension Degree.

Although the previous Space Law Fruit only raised Law Comprehension Degree by 0.1%, that number was impressively significant.

Let's not forget that even with a mid-tier Law Crystal in hand, as well as the amplification of the Primordial Secret Realm's Origin Law manifestation, five years had yielded only that much progress.
